Me, too!
As I have said several times on FR these last few months, reading these threads and research, I have been forced to face the awful fact that I may have let John Kerry and his band of thugs influence my opinion of the war.
I had a really rough time with it at first, and had some private Freepmails with veterans and military wives.
I will say one thing: once you become enlightened IT ALL MADE SENSE, doesn't it?
Well they certainly influenced all those I encountered in public school and college. We were taught the war was bad and essentially that it was all Nixon's fault. If you had a very enlightened teacher he may have given you a bit of background but the conclusion was always the same. Add some Hollywood movies and you have the recipe for poisoning the minds of all of us educated in the post-Viet Nam era.
When I discovered that Walter Cronkite was a committed, but very well disguised lefty, I started smelling that smell.
If he NOW said "the sky is blue"...I would run outside to check.
